Explore three of Australia’s most extraordinary geological landscapes in this visually stunning and educational video. From the ancient bones of a mountain range that rewrote the geologic timescale to the breathtaking gorges carved into billion-year-old rock, this episode takes you deep into the heart of the Australian continent to uncover the natural forces that shaped it. Whether you're passionate about Earth science or simply love exploring the wild beauty of the outback, this is a journey through time you won't want to miss.

First, we visit the Flinders Ranges in South Australia—a place that not only preserves Earth's deep history but forever changed geology. This rugged, folded mountain chain contains a nearly uninterrupted sedimentary record stretching back over 800 million years. It was here that fossils of the Ediacara biota were discovered, leading to the formal recognition of the Ediacaran Period, the first new geological period added to the timescale in over a century. The Flinders Ranges are a true geological archive, offering insight into ancient seas, global ice ages, early reef systems, and the dawn of complex life on Earth.

Next, we head to the Northern Territory to explore Kings Canyon in Watarrka National Park. This spectacular gorge is carved into towering red sandstone cliffs, revealing the stratified remains of ancient marine and desert environments. With its dramatic domes, hidden waterholes, and unique rock formations, Kings Canyon is both a natural wonder and a stunning cross-section of central Australia’s geological evolution. Its cliffs expose layers that are hundreds of millions of years old, each one telling a story of shifting climates, rising seas, and the slow sculpting hand of erosion.

Finally, we travel west to Karijini National Park in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Here, some of the oldest rocks on the continent—over 2.5 billion years old—form deep gorges, cascading waterfalls, and layered iron formations that once lay at the bottom of an ancient ocean. Karijini’s landscape is a showcase of geological endurance and the immense power of water to carve through stone over unimaginable time spans. Walking through its narrow chasms and standing beside its ancient pools is like stepping back into the early Earth, when life was just beginning to take hold.
